The mark of a successful academic conference is the sustained discussion and engagement that continues long after the closing session. For key event takeaways and action planning to have resonance, attendees need a means of amplifying and further edifying their shared ideas and sense of purpose. We present the Manifesto Machine, a collaborative wri...

We are also expanding the Words in Freedom online platform to host a digital version of MANIFESTO! the game (currently accessible on GitHub), along with the existing Manifesto Machine and Moving Type Machine digital authoring tools (Ashby, 2018;. The digital version (see Figure 8) mirrors the analogue card came, with the addition of a "SPIN" button for randomly dealing card hands. ...
... Canvases offer a method to go from linear thought to planar action or even space if used by groups simultaneously and became popular tools used in processes of innovation and creation. 6 Canvases structure group thinking and facilitate involvement. By the means of graphical representation and interaction crucial issues are detected more easily and become more approachable. ...

... In the spirit of 'punk HCI', their contribution unleashes the use of an unusual format, at least in the context of HCI. Although it is ring-fenced inside CHI's designated progressive section, alt.chi, this contribution, alongside other HCI and interaction design contributions [22,35,45,20,27,1,21,39,6,24], uses the manifesto as a way of provoking a discussion around complex issues. In many of these manifestos one witnesses attempts by HCI researchers to perform a series of (often overlapping) moves: to speak collectively, build consensus, raise awareness, advocate for and accelerate change, speak for and from the margins, disrupt the status quo, unsettle stuck discourse, sidestep conventional modes, expose broken promises, and 'circumvent ordinary ... avenues' of redress if they are too slow in responding to urgent demands for change [34]. ...
We take up Bødker's [9] challenge to 'identify' a fourth wave HCI, building on the work of Blevis et al. [8] and others to shore up a new vision that places 'politics and values and ethics' at the forefront without abandoning the strengths of previous waves. We insist that a fourth wave must push harder, beyond measured criticism for actual (e.g. institutional) change. We present two studies performed at CHI'19, where we used our MANIFESTO! game to: 1) take the temperature of colleagues on adopting an activist stance, 2) test manifesto writing as a key activity in pushing HCI forward into the fourth wave, and 3) test our game for subsequent iterations, and as a probe for inspiring new digital tools. With the enthusiastic response received to gameplay, facilitated in part through a novel method using tableau vivant, we argue for taking political activism from the margins into mainstream HCI.
